AGRICULTURAL MACHINE Application led January 31,l 1931).` Serial No. 425,010.

This invention relates to a combination of attachments for plant cultivators and agricultural machines of all types.

An important object of the invention isV to provide a planter for sewing, drilling or broadcasting which can be applied `or attached to all cultivators or agricultural machines of various types so that the operator or farmer can readily equip his cultivator or 1 machines when desired, with a simple and inexpensive device, for the purpose of rplanting, sewing, drilling or broadcasting of all kinds of grain, seeds or combinations of the same with fertilizer or insect powder.

Another object of the invention is to provide the farmer or operator with a combination planter and cultivator by means of which a farmer can cultivate, plant, sew, drill or broadcast at the time of cultivation or before 2 or after cultivation, thereby combining two or more operations which will enable the operator to sew, plant, drill or broadcast catch crops.

A further object of the invention is to provide an attachment unique in design, simple in construction but reliable and durable, convenient and economical to use.

With the foregoing and other objects vin view, which will appear fas the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combinat-ion and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a planter constructed in accordance with the invention. v

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the planter.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the broadcasting fan.

Figure 5 is a side elevational view illustrating the planter supplied with the drilling mechanism.

sprocket Y Referring to the drawingsV invdetail, the

planter includes the Vinverted U shaped axle '5' provided with laterally extended end portions 6 on which the wheels 7 that support they n' i machine, are mounted. l

The grain box is indicated by the reference character8, and as shown is provided with' a laterally. extended arm 9 thathas pivotal connection with the vertical bar 10 secured to the bar 11 of the grain box supporting frame." The forward end of the bar 11 connects with the axle 5, at 12. The grain box supporting frame also includes a bar 13 that has its forward end secured to the axle 5, at 14,the bar 13 being provided with a bearing 15 to ac-f commodate the shaft 16'. y Y e Cross bars 17 connect the barsllV and 13 and hold-the bars 11 and 13 in spaced relation with each other. shaft 16, isa pinion 18 that meshes with the pinion 19 connected with the grain deliver- Mounted on one end of the v ing diskof the grain box, so that rotary movement of the shaft 16 and pinion 18 will result in a rotary movement of the pinion 19 to,H

cause grain to be delivered from the seed box. A lever 2O is pivotally mounted on'the up-v standing arm 21, and has its forward end engaging within the groove 22 at-thelowerv end of the grain box, -to the end that movement of the lever 20 will result in a vertical movement of the grain box 8, to cause the pinion 19 thereof to become disengaged fro-m the pinion 18. A keeper 23 is provided for holding the leverv in' its positions of adjustmenti'y Y I f Mounted on the outer end of the shaft 16, is a sprocket Qliover which-the chain Q5 operates, the chain also operating over the 26 secured to the hub of one'of the ,go

wheels 7, as by means ofthe arms 27.

Clamped to theaxle '5, lis an arm-28 that extends forwardly and is provided with avbeari y i ing 29 adjacent to its'forward end, lthe bearing 29 being designed to receive the vertical shaft 30 that-carries the pinion 31 at its upper end which meshes with the pinion 18, so

that rotary movement of the pinion 18 will result in a relative movement of the pinion 31 to rotate the shaft on "which the pinion 31. 1s mounted'I Y A l 4l are connected, the tubes having their idisy On lthe lower end of the shaft that carries i the pinion 31, is a broadcasting fan 32 which is disposed in such relation with the grain box 8, that material or grain dropping from the grain box 8 will fall directly on the blades `of the fan, which throws or broadcasts the grain. A

Thereference character33 designates Va bar that is secured to the aXle 5, by means Yof the clamp 34, the bar 33 providing a support for the doubleetree 35, and `the tongue 36, which is secured to the forward end ofthe bar 33 by means of the securing bolts '37.

- At the rear end of the bar 33 are hools'e38 on .which the shovel frames 39 may bey hung,

when ,itfis desired to lift :the frames 39 to c move them out of :operation 'In the form A`of the invention as shown by Figure 5, the fan 32v 'hasbeen removed and replaced by the receiver 410 to which the tubes the pinions into and out of contact, wheels on which the cultivator is supported, and means for'transmitting movement of the wheels to the shaft. c

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiXed my signature.
